Talk Title: Life Cycle Assessment Tools for Green Buildings and Construction
Biography: Dr. Suh's research concerns understanding how industries utilize natural resources and energy while producing goods and services, wastes, and pollution -- also called "industrial metabolism". In particular, he has been studying the methods and applications of life cycle assessment (LCA), a tool to evaluate a product's environmental impacts from raw material extraction to manufacturing, use and recycling in a closed loop system. Dr. Suh's research has been supported by a number of funding sources including government agencies (NSF and USDA/DOE) as well as industries such as ExxonMobil Corp. and Xcel Energy.
